Classic woody, musty, plummy smell. Taste is dry and chewy with tannins that are present without overwhelming the quality. The flavor is similarly musty to the taste and it's not very complex but there's enough there to hold interest, mostly as a complement to food (beef) rather than on its own.

Smell is light, floral, and pear-like. Taste is very similar to the nose - easy to drink and not too sweet as you might expect from some Gewurztraminers. It's almost like a dry wine with sweetness in its essence, if that makes sense. Not complicated, but very pleasant.

I drank this late and wasn't paying attention to specifics but remember being pleasantly surprised. Very drinkable, very tasty - great value.
